Researcher Development
Researcher Development Programme
The Researcher Development Programme has been designed to provide you with opportunities to develop your knowledge and skill across a broad range of areas that will benefit you and your research.
The programme is part of a wider array of resources from across the University available to researchers within the College of Social Sciences.
Although some individual courses and content in the programme may be more relevant to staff on a particular development path, such as the Early Career Development Programme (ECDP), all are welcome including those from other Colleges.
